This is my work / study from home setup sitting on the floor, with a floor desk, as a Filipino minimalist. My back has been really starting to hurt since I started studying part-time. It's led to an additional 10+ hours a week in front of a computer. So I decided to try this!

As someone with a lot of back pain from sitting in a subpar chair all day, this video might've completely changed my life! thanks for these tips!

@PGBlanks 3 года назад

Haha your mileage may vary! I hope it works for you. I find that when I still sit down on the floor for extended periods of time it will still hurt, so key for me is to just keep moving.

Working from the floor Makes the Whole World Bright & Shiny!

@PGBlanks 3 года назад

Definitely makes the room feel bigger LOL

@nicksyahrilstorror5183 2 года назад

Yes bro I do this all the time and it's much better than sitting on the chair for long period of time 😁👍🏼 I prefer more on this one🤷🏼‍♂️🙌🏼✌🏼❤️

Very great video buddy 🇮🇳 Infact this was in practice in ancient Indian culture sitting on floor to eat (present days as well) , to prepare food, to perform job in many places in India they follow the same culture.

Yes I will get a floor desk and watch kpop stages😅 great video. Floor sitting honestly made my life a lot better

@PGBlanks 3 года назад

Hahahhaha that is EXACTLY what I use it for

@KingTolentino 3 года назад

great idea.. but you still need to lower the table a little bit.. so that both your wrist will be in a neutral state.. hope this helps... bro showed my support :D

@PGBlanks 3 года назад

Yeah definitely, that's something I've noticed over time. I think instead I'll try to elevate my own body a bit (maybe with a small stool or just sitting "taller") to address it. Definitely starting to feel it in my shoulders! Thanks for the support bro!

Ya know dealing with back issues for a long time specially since the pandemic, the constant sitting on my chair hours on end everyday has weakened my back that i suffered an injury that had my muscles been firm and strong i think i wouldn't have injured it so easily. That being said i can't sit no more than 30mins before i start to get achy and tired. I tried the floor sit with a back and seat cushion and wow, stayed there for 20mins and my back tolerated it and i did something i havent done in over 10yrs, i crossed my legs and felt the tightness on my hamstrings and glutes...im definitely out of shape. I want to get used to this type of sitting from now on. Little by little.

Try sitting on the sofa. Knees are almost level the top of the coffee table. This kind of setup is my everyday working position, posture for more than 2 years now. I'm satisfied and more comfortable with this kind of setup. My table is a large center/coffee table 125cm L x 75cm W x 45cm H. My seat is a three seater sofa with height just below or almost level the top of table. Good for my arms while typing/writing, etc. Legs/feet can move freely for any positions/postures. I can lay or instantly rest for awhile on the sofa. Sometimes I use floor chair and thick cushion, but I likely to sit on the sofa. My conclude opinion whether floor desk or no matter what height of table the seat must almost level top of table. More comfortable for the arms, legs, feet, etc. And, the best seat is the sofa style seat, soft or hard, whatever.

Hey man, not sure why but I cannot respond on your comment. Anyway, I'm using premiere pro I had some problem syncing my settings from pc to mac. Kaya I f***** up my video lol😂 You're almost there, keep going. Road to 1k👍

@PGBlanks 3 года назад

Ahhh I see haha. Still looked great, though! I'm still on iMovie. Told myself I would move to either Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro when I get monetized. Thanks for the support! :D

@david00984 4 месяца назад

hey are you still working from floor? or you are back to chair? I'm a software professional, most of my time goes in working from home, I often have to move to different countries for work though, and every time I move, selling my desk setup breaks my heart. so I've been using laptop table, a good quality one lately, and been sitting on the floor. But it hasn't been a very comforting seating. saw your video so wanted to check if this is a sustainable seating? If you are still sitting on floor or quitted?

@thejeffgeronimo 3 года назад

Watching thought worthy as well! But sitting on the floor made my back hurt so much 😰😰😰

@PGBlanks 3 года назад

Haha so far so good! We will see in a few weeks 😂 maybe I can afford a budget ergonomic chair by then lol

@thejeffgeronimo 3 года назад

@@PGBlanks hahaha! Is that the reason you're sitting on the floor? Haha! Soon brother. Let's claim it! :)

@thejeffgeronimo 3 года назад

@@PGBlanks Don't be like me. I took 1 year for me to decide and get one. HAHA! Too late, my back hurts already time to time

@zednik8956 3 года назад

i would say that the table is still a bit too high for you, if you were to lower it a bit so as your arms are 90 degrees to the tabletop then that would be best

@PGBlanks 3 года назад

100% agree. Since filming this I’ve tried to sit taller and am sitting on a cushion now, definitely a needed adjustment as I started getting soreness in my right shoulder.

@PGBlanks 3 года назад

Just an update, I got a cheap floor chair and it's reduced a lot of the strain on my shoulders, I made a followup vid if you wanna see what it looks like.

Samsung m7 smart monitor will complement your set up.

@PGBlanks 3 года назад

Haha definitely on my wishlist! I just promised I would wait for my ultrawide to break before upgrading. 😅 Have you reviewed that model?

@SkyPerspective 3 года назад

Nah, I wish I can afford to buy that and review that model. 😄 That monitor is so smart, can connect to wifi by itself, remote desktop to a Windows pc and there you go, don't need to have any CPU or computer. Can also use it as a TV by itself. That's why I thought it's suits your coffee table setup in your video.

@melaniechristy1446 3 года назад

I have tried studying on the floor but my feet and legs fall asleep and it can get quite difficult standing up. Ever considered getting floor chairs like the ones in Muji?

@PGBlanks 3 года назад

Perhaps in the future! I am lucky thought that I live on a carpeted floor, so my butt doesn’t hurt after extended sitting haha. Also if you’ll see there my couch is just behind me so I’ll lean my back sometimes if I’m ever starting to feel sore or want to switch things up. I’ve gotten around the legs falling asleep issue by just switching positions every few mins.

@PGBlanks 3 года назад

Just an update, I found one of those cheap picnic/stadium seats and they've been working well for me! Check out my newest video :) Definitely not as pretty as Muji's but also it's around half the price...

@janespindy 3 года назад

what about stand up table??

@PGBlanks 3 года назад

I'm actually trying one now since my friend gave me their old sit-stand converter! Might make a future vid about this. What have you tried so far?

@janespindy 3 года назад

@@PGBlanks I never tried. I planned to but go for cheaper one instead. I have history of back injury so stand up would help. Now i regret not having one. Now i want to save my money. Maybe black Friday there will be more used on sale on FB. On other note, I dont know how you sit on the floor. I can't sit on the floor for too long it will also hurt my back. haha
